The issue with the car
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2007 5:21 am
So I had the work done on my car as most people around here know. Transmission/TC rebuild, new clutch, flywheel, engine build up.
Had an issue come up about 1500 miles later, was getting a vibration from 2000-2500rpm. I made an appointment to take it back in the next week. Well the next day, I'm doing my weekly oh please oh please don't be leaking fluid check up, and what do I see...2 piles of fluid.
At first I thought they were two different types of oil, as one was much darker, though on closer look I find it's just dripping down to a different spot.
I take it in, Inner seal on the transmission is was causing it, and the input shaft bearing was toasted. It's being replaced under warranty, but is this something I should get used to having problems with? I don't pretend to understand what the breaking parts in our drivetrains are supposed to be (other than synchros).
